A court hearing was postponed Wednesday for a former NAACP leader in Washington whose life unraveled after she was exposed as a white woman pretending to be black.
Nkechi Diallo, formerly known as Rachel Dolezal, pleaded not guilty last week through her attorney to charges including welfare fraud, perjury and false verification for public assistance. Her next court date is now set for June 20.
Diallo resigned as Spokane’s NAACP president when it was revealed in 2015 that she was born to white parents.
The welfare fraud case started in March 2017 when a Washington investigator received information that Diallo had written a book. The investigator reviewed Diallo’s records and found that she had been reporting her income as usually less than $500 per month, court documents said.A subpoena for her self-employment records, which included copies of her bank statements, showed Diallo had deposited nearly $84,000 into her account between August 2015 and September 2017, without reporting most of it to the Department of Social and Health Services.
The money came from her memoir, “In Full Color,” speaking engagements, soap making, doll making and the sale of her art, according to the case file.
Diallo did report a “change of circumstance” to the state agency, saying she did a one-time job in October 2017 worth $20,000, court documents said.
